Jeff Tracy and his All-American Boys of International Rescue are back with six more episodes of the strangest special-effects adventure ever created. Thunderbirds sets a new standard for the term "wooden" with its slow-moving, rather lifeless marionette stars, but then the characters are really only the support staff for the real stars: the cool sci-fi vehicles they pilot into daring rescue missions. While Thunderbird 1 (the jet) and Thunderbird 2 (the massive sky-born equipment transport) get most of the assignments, you can see the underwater Thunderbird 4 in action in "Day of Disaster" (saving astronauts trapped in a submerged rocket) and "Desperate Intruder" (battling a submarine manned by their vaguely Asian archenemy "the Hood"). Other episodes in this collection include "End of the Road" (a mammoth road grader hangs off a cliff in the South American jungle), "Edge of Impact" (the Hood sabotages an experimental Air Force jet), and "30 Minutes Before Noon" (a raging fire masks a terrorist plot to blow up London). The corker of the collection is "Terror in New York City," where they save the Empire State Building from toppling when it's moved during an urban renewal project. --Sean Axmaker |
